Erik R. Puknys, managing partner of Finnegan’s Palo Alto office, was named one of the Top 75 IP Litigators in California by the Daily Journal, California’s largest legal news provider. The article notes Puknys’ representation of Kinetic Concepts Inc., Uniloc USA, and i4i Limited Partnership at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, as well as his representation of Japanese company Elpida Memory in an action brought by a German company at the International Trade Commission, which settled in favorable terms to Elpida. “What we're seeing more and more is foreign companies using the International Trade Commission," Puknys said. "The ITC used to be seen as a protectionist court, but it has been very good at correcting that perception."
